GaIICS: A hybrid approach to cosmological chemodynamics

EAS PUBLICATIONS 24 (2007) 215-220

Abstract:

This contribution addresses the issue of metal enrichment and the distribution of metals in the lSN/IGM/ICM within the framework of a hybrid N-body plus semi-analytic method. It discusses its impact on galaxy bimodality and multi-wavelength galaxy counts.

Integral-field observations of centaurus a nucleus

ESO ASTROPHY SYMP (2007) 277-279

Authors:

D Krajnovic, R Sharp, N Thatte

Abstract:

We observed the nuclear region of Centaurus A in the J band with CIRPASS, mounted on GEMINI South telescope. Here we present the preliminary results focusing on the kinematic structure of the gas disk and present a simple model determining its kinematic orientation and inclination as well as an estimate of the mass of the central black hole.

Integral-field studies of the high-redshift universe

ESO ASTROPHY SYMP (2007) 381-385

Authors:

MJ Jarvis, C van Breukelen, BP Venemans, RJ Wilman

Abstract:

We present results from a new method of exploring the distant Universe. We use 3-D spectroscopy to sample a large cosmological volume at a time when the Universe was less than 3 billion years old to investigate the evolution of star-formation activity. Within this study we also discovered a high redshift type-II quasar which would not have been identified with imaging studies alone. This highlights the crucial role that integral-field spectroscopy may play in surveying the distant Universe in the future.
